Moore Street, Knightsbridge

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, SW3

The typical mid-nineteenth century stucco-fronted Chelsea house has
one unusual aspect to its setting – it is directly on top of the
District and Circle line tunnel, between Sloane Square and South
Kensington stations.

The addition of a third floor and an extension at the back of the
lower ground floor presented both architectural and engineering
challenges.

The replanning of the house provides generous living space on
ground and lower ground floors, with a small sunny paved garden acting
as another room in good weather. The three upper floors include a
particularly finely detailed master bathroom and separate dressing room.
